SAT IN ANGER
Devastated Oasis fans ‘give up’ as they get through queue to find ticket prices have soared
The tour has proven to be one of the most in-demand tours of all time – and ticket sites are cashing in

However, after being trapped in an online queue for hours, fans were left disheartened to discover the inflated price.
Already prepared to fork out over £140 for the chance to see Noel and Liam Gallagher back on stage together, fans flocked to X in rage over how they were now more than £350.
One wrote: "That feeling when you wait in a queue for four hours only to be told the price of the ticket has risen from £148 to... £355??? Because they're 'in demand'. How is this not illegal?"
"This is problematic guys," wrote another, adding: "It's disgraceful to see standing tickets priced at £355.20—pure exploitation.

"They should be ashamed, turning fan excitement into a money grab. This greed is ruining what should be a joyful experience."
"Just @Ticketmaster raising the price of regular standing tickets for @oasis and re-naming them ‘in demand standing tickets’," said a third. "They’re just as bad as the touts."
The ticket-buying process descended into chaos for thousands of fans, with site crashes and time-outs kicking them out of the queue to the back of the line.
Other fans were accused of being "bots" with their accounts getting suspended as a result.

"hope #Oasis are happy in their choice of the totally incompetent #Ticketmaster to promote their generational extravaganza only to f**k it up I had mine my wife’s and son’s accounts suspended," wrote one fan.

Fans were waiting so long that memes joking the band had already split up again started to circulate.
On top of that, touts have already started flogging tickets for an increased price of up to £6,000 on alternative sites.
The issue became so severe the official Oasis account warned against purchasing from touting sites and will be taking action against those who sell on them.
"Please note, Oasis Live ‘25 tickets can only be resold at face value via @TicketmasterUK and @Twickets!" they wrote.
"Tickets appearing on other secondary ticketing sites are either counterfeit or will be cancelled by the promoters."
Manchester lads Liam, 51, and Noel Gallagher, 57, revealed the 17-date domestic leg of their Oasis Live 25 tour this month.
They confirmed to loyal fans all their dreams of a reunion - which many thought would never transpire - had come true with the words: "This is it, this is happening."

However, they added that the show "would not be televised" meaning fans have to buy tickets to get in on the action.
The Sun Online has reached out to Ticketmaster for comment.
